You Can Rely On Jack To Be Devious And Sneaky

That fucking little bastard Jack "Slippery Weasel" Straw is now trying to slip secret inquests into legislation by hiding ministerial powers to order them in other bills he is trying to slip through Parliament.

Just shows how important it is for NuLiebore to try and avoid any embarrassing headlines over such stuff as murdering Brazilian electricians or dead troops who would be alive if they'd had decent equipment. Never mind destroying our liberties and a system that has worked reasonably well for hundreds of years.

Following on from my previous comment, I have emailed the link to the DM story to David Cameron & my local MP & asked them if they are aware of what Jack Straw is trying to do. Perhaps a deluge of emails to your local MP (& Party Leader if your local MP isn't Labour) might stir things up a bit?

"Isabella Sankey, director of policy for civil rights group Liberty, said: ‘It beggars belief that this rotten policy has been resurrected.

'When will New Labour’s obsession with secret courts and parallel legal systems end?’"

I sometimes wonder about incidents like these - is it really Labour wanting secret courts or are people like the Police and MoD requesting them and Labour haven't the spine to say 'fuck off'.

I am increasingly of the mind the latter is the case, with Labour doing deals with the Devil if it gets him off their back. Things like 42 days detention wholly at the request of the Police yet David Davis amongst others was able to thoroughly demolish the argument, though the vote in Parliament didn't go so well.

It is as if Labour see Government solely as doing deals with vested interests and pressure groups from dolescum via Government being stuffed with hand wringing do gooders to the Defence industry, Europe and whoever else. They have forgotten us and so have the Opposition.

To be governed is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. To be governed is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be placed under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonoured. That is government; that is it's justice; that is its morality.
